It's Christmas time again!! That means its time to decorate and get into the spirit of the season!
And what better way to start decorating by getting a Christmas tree!
So I may be a bit naive, but when Drew and I decided to go into the wilderness and cut down our own tree, I sort of thought it would be like walking into a field or flat plain. Oooh how I was sooo wrong!!
I had to hike up a mountain!! I guess it makes sense, but I was not prepared for this hike up a steep snow covered mountain and then back down it with a 7 foot tree!! It was so worth it though! I love our tree and the spirit it brings into our home :)
Our permit!! Only $10!!!
Much better than a $50 or $60 tree from a lot!
Our pick! The best one on the mountain :)
Believe me, I hiked the whole thing!
Yay!!
My hubby cutting down our tree!
This is how we measured our tree! We knew we wanted it only a little taller than Drew, so he got to lay down for a little break while I measured :)
I love our tree!!

All i had to do was carry the flash light and the saw, and I still fell down 3 times :P
On top of the car :)
Finally in the house! Now it is time to decorate!! My favorite part :)
The lights! It took forever because one of the strands went out after we finished, so we had to start all over :P
And now the ornaments :)
The finished product!! After we were all done we watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, while eating dinner :)
It was such a fun and wonderful experience!!
That's so cool! I didn't know you could still do that; I thought it was just like from the 50's. How fun!!!
